Chapter 167: Seven Zhu Hongling
Seeing the mighty team leave, Mo Yu sat down with a sigh of relief and drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xiang Rong sat down excitedly and said, "Niangniang, it's really time for you to come back, and it will be revealed later." ”
Ji Feicui rolled her eyes and said, "It's been revealed a long time ago." ”
I don't understand, "It's been exposed a long time ago?" How can it be? ”
Mo Yu explained: "I met Lian Jieyu on the road just now, although she didn't see my face, but she should be able to guess that it was me from the back, so she moved the queen over." ”
"Oh, I see."
Ji Feicui said puzzledly: "But, the queen came when she came, why did you move the queen mother here?" And the Queen Mother is so strange today, she doesn't talk much. ”
Xiang Rong was also puzzled: "Yes, Niangniang, do you know why?" ”
"The emperor issued an order to let Yun Changfeng stand at the door, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. The queen can't get in, and the queen mother has the token of the emperor in her hand and can go in and out of any place. But why the Queen Mother would help the queen, I don't know. Mo Yu's hand knocked on the table intentionally or unintentionally, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the Queen Mother to come together with King Wei, but why did she help the Queen today? She didn't know either. Mo Yu looked at Xiang Rong and said with a smile: "However, your performance today is really good, and your brain is getting more and more excited." ”
"Huh." Xiang Rong scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I learned this from Biyue, but I only learned a little bit of it." ”
"It would be nice to have so many. Hey, where did you hide your things? ”
Ji Feiyu asked suspiciously, "What is hiding?" ”
At this time, Grandpa Qiang walked in, still holding a wooden box in his hand. "Mother, the stuff is here."
The box is a delicate box with some elaborate patterns engraved on it. Mo Yu opened the box, and it was full of black pearls of the same size.
Ji Feicui's eyes widened and she said in surprise: "Oh my God, there are so many pearls, and they are all black pearls." Suddenly, he looked up and said to Mo Yu in surprise: "This can't be the box of Dongzhu that the queen was looking for just now!" Then why couldn't the queen find it just now? ”
Xiang Rong said proudly: "Of course, this is my wit, cleverness, beauty and cuteness!" When Concubine Shu sent someone to spread the word, I had a bad premonition in my heart. Niangniang is not here, I am afraid that they will search the palace to find it, so I thought of the box of pearls that Niangniang said last time, if they find this box of pearls, it will be miserable. So he asked Qiang Gonggong to hide it first, put a box of white beads in it, and wrote a record of white beads on the list. ”
"Oh, but why did you hide this pearl, is there anything wrong with this pearl?"
Grandpa Qiang asked curiously, "Yes, Niangniang, is there anything wrong with this box of Dongzhu?" ”
The color of the east pearl is full, and when you pick it up and shine it in the sun, you can also see the change in the color of the beads, exuding a different taste. Xiang Rong said: "Niangniang, why does this pearl look darker than last time?" Is it really poisonous? ”
"Poisonous?" Ji Feiyu covered her nose with a handkerchief in disgust, and said, "How can such a beautiful thing be poisonous?" Why don't you put it down quickly? ”
Mo Yu put the pearls in his hand in the teacup in front of him, and then took out the pearls in the box one by one and put them into the teacup, and after a while, the pearls in the box had been moved in, revealing the bottom layer of the box inside. Grandpa Qiang said suspiciously: "Hey, why is the bottom of this box so shallow?" ”
The box is half a foot high, but the bottom layer of the box is very shallow, taking up half of the entire box. It looks like a whole box of pearls, but it's only half a box. From the middle of the box, it's the bottom of the box.
Mo Yu raised his head and looked at Ji Feicui, and said, "Bring your hairpin to me to use." ”
"Oh." Ji Feicui was also curious, so he handed her the hairpin on his head.
The plank in the middle is not the real bottom of the box. Mo Yu gently picked up the wooden board with a hairpin, which turned out to be a mezzanine. Underneath the mezzanine, there are two boxes like rouge boxes, iron, which are also very delicate, and they are not ordinary at first glance. Mo Yu gently picked open the lid of the small box with the hairpin in his hand, revealing the vermilion powder inside.
"What is this?" Of the four people in the hall, except for Mo Yu, the remaining three asked in unison.
Vermilion powder, like cinnabar, but not cinnabar. Like rouge, but without the fragrance of rouge. Mo Yu gently touched the box of vermilion powder with the silver hairpin in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the silver peach blossom hairpin immediately darkened, in exchange for a louder "ah" sound from the three people in the hall.
"Oh my God, what is this?"
"What kind of poison is this, so powerful. If anyone touches this, he will surely die. ”
Mo Yu covered the box of vermilion powder and instructed Qiang Gong, "Go and get another box." Then he wiped the hairpin in his hand with a handkerchief, put it on the table, and said, "This is the Seven Vermilion Ling, which is a deadly poison refined from seven poisonous flowers." Once a person touches it, he sees blood in his throat. Because its color is vermilion, it is called seven vermilion ling. I've only seen this thing in books, but I didn't expect it to appear in my palace today. ”
Xiang Rong said: "This is Zhang Jieyu's gift to Niangniang, this Zhang Jieyu is really bold enough, and she actually sent you poison in the name of sending Dongzhu." ”
"Whether this thing was given by Zhang Jieyu or not, we don't know. But this poisonous daughter is hard to find, and there may not be it in the palace, who hates me so much, and has such a big hand? ”
Ji Feicui guessed: "Could it be the queen?" ”
Xiang Rong said: "I also think it's the queen, otherwise why did she mention this box of beads just now?" ”
Mo Yu shook his head and said, "We don't know if it's not, maybe the queen gave it to me by borrowing Zhang Jieyu's hand, or maybe Zhang Jieyu herself didn't know that under this box of beads were the seven vermilion lings." She opened the information she took from Ma Gonggong and took a look, and the poison in Zhang Jieyu recorded on it was indeed Seven Vermilion Hongling, and she saw blood sealing her throat.
Ji Feiyu came over to take a look and said in surprise: "Now that I think about it, they have already planned it, if this poison is found in your palace today, then Zhang Jieyu's death will have nothing to do with you." She's a good plan, killing two birds with one stone. ”
Regardless of whether this poison was sent by Zhang Jieyu or not, anyway, it was found in the Jade Immortal Palace, so the crime of killing Moyu is inevitable. If An is given a logical reason, the concubine and the virtuous concubine have fallen out of favor, and Zhang Jieyu is being favored again, it is normal for the two concubines to want to pull out Zhang Jieyu's thorn in the eye out of jealousy and hatred. The concubine understands medical skills and naturally knows the poison, so she let her personal palace maid Biyue give the poison to Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian then instructed her personal palace maid Xiaoyue to sprinkle the poison on her wound when Zhang Jieyu was picking flowers, so as to achieve the result of killing people invisibly. It's just that Skynet is magnificent, and this trick can't escape the eyes of the queen mother after all, and finally the behind-the-scenes instructions finally fall into the legal net. Reasonable, interlocking explanations.
Father-in-law Qiang walked in and said, "Niangniang, the box you want." ”
It is a brown wooden box engraved with auspicious clouds. Mo Yu covered the rouge box with a handkerchief, then moved it to the box sent by Qiang Gonggong and locked it, and said, "Put it on my dresser!" Be careful. ”
"Yes, sissy."
Ji Feiyu said puzzledly: "Hey, why don't you just destroy this thing, and put it in such a conspicuous place as the dresser?" ”
Mo Yu said: "Don't worry! The queen will not come again. Besides, if we destroy it, then we really won't be able to clear our grievances. ”
"What do you mean?"
"As I said before, someone has to come out to blame for this, either us or someone else."
Ji Feicui hesitated, "Does it have to be like this?" ”
Xiang Rong said angrily: "Concubine Xian, what kind of mercy did you come here to express, when you targeted our family Niangniang before, why didn't you feel guilty?" ”
"You little girl, you have the courage to fatten you, dare to arrange the master, believe it or not, I will treat you for one of the following crimes?"
"Cut, if I dare to punish me, be careful that our mother doesn't save you."
"You." Ji Feicui was so angry that she jumped to her feet, how could she not even fight a little maid?
Mo Yu put the black pearl in the teacup back into the box, and when she saw that they were arguing, she interrupted: "Okay, don't quarrel either, now the Jade Immortal Palace and the Lanyue Palace are tied together, and they can't be separated." ”
Ji Feicui raised her head proudly, glared at Xiang Rong and said, "Let's see how I clean you up in the future." ”
Xiang Rong was not jealous, and glared back: "You dare." ”
All the pearls were put into the box, and sure enough, there was only half a box. Mo Yu locked the box, handed it to the strong father-in-law on the side, and instructed: "Go and find a place to bury this box of beads, the more hidden the better, and make sure that it does not leak." ”
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this."
"Look at it, don't be discovered."
"Yes."
When Father-in-law Qiang led the box out, Ji Feicui said pity: "It's a pity that the box of East Pearls, black pearls are the best in the world!" ”
Mo Yu shook her head, gave her a basin of cold water, and said, "That's not Dongzhu, it's just an ordinary white pearl with a big head." The reason why it is black is because under it, there are two boxes of seven vermilion lings. ”
Both of them were shocked, and said in disbelief: "Niangniang means that it was the Seven Vermilion Rings that turned the white pearls into black?" ”
"Hmm." Mo Yu nodded and praised, "Our family wants to be smarter and smarter. ”
"No wonder, I see that its color is darker than before, it turns out that it is because of the poison. If this poison is emitted in the air, we will be poisoned to death if we breathe it every day. ”
Mo Yu nodded again and praised again: "That's right again." ”
Outside the window, the rain was still pouring down, and the gray and foggy sky was reflected on the ground. God doesn't mean to be sunny at all, and I don't know how long these days will last?
A brazier was lit in the corner of the temple, not because it was cold, but because it was to evaporate the moisture from the temple. The carved windows were wide open, and when you looked through the window, you could see a few moons in the yard, which were blooming beautifully.
Mo Yu got up and walked to the inner hall, and said as he walked, "Go play by yourself!" I'll go in and look at the information. ”
Ji Feicui stood up and asked, "Do you need my help?" ”
"Not for now, I'll look for you if I have one."
"Oh, then you can take your time!"
Mo Yu walked over to the dresser and looked at the brown box that Cuong had placed on the table, tapping her fingers on the tabletop intentionally or not. How should this thing be disposed of?
I don't know how Biyue is doing in prison?
**********
Wende Hall.
Sikong Jun put the stacks of ledgers in his hand on the desk, waiting for the emperor behind the desk to look through them. This is the old accounts he has checked over the years since he was appointed as the head of the household department, and there is no need to say much about the loopholes, and some of them even saw the wrong number at a glance, and I really don't know how bold this household secretary is.
The emperor casually picked up a copy and flipped through it, and then angrily threw it aside. I picked up another book and read it, and I was even more angry. The third book, the fourth book, and finally slapped the table in anger, shaking the ink in the inkstone on the table a few times.
"I knew they were greedy, but I didn't expect them to be so greedy. The winter before last was allocated to Luzhou, and I personally received 200,000 taels of silver and 300 loads of grain. But here it is written that it is 300,000 2500 quintals, are they fools? ”
Sikong was also taken aback when he saw this account book, he didn't expect the household department to be so bold, the emperor was in Luzhou at that time, but they blatantly swallowed it privately. I really don't know if this Hubu Shangshu Tang Yunhe is bold, or is he bold behind him? "Then the emperor, what are you going to do?"
"How? Of course, let the people from the Criminal Department go directly to his house to get people and check on him. ”
"Your Majesty." Sikong deliberately reminded: "Tang Yunhe is a person from the middle book. ”
Zhongshu Ling, the Ji family, that is, the mother family of the noble concubine and the virtuous concubine. If you want to investigate Tang Yunhe, Ji Gangyang will inevitably be implicated, and how will Moyu deal with herself then? The emperor rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I will tell Luo Ying to deal with this matter." The big basket of the household department, let Tang Yunhe make it up alone! ”
After all, he still couldn't bear to hurt the person in the Jade Immortal Palace. She said that the centipede would die quickly if it had to hit its head, but if the centipede's teeth were extracted, even if it could still run, it would not be able to hurt anyone.
Ten Tang Yunhes are not as good as one Ji Moyu.
In Sikong's opinion, maybe the emperor didn't want to implicate the Ji family in this matter, because of Moyu. "The minister may not ask, but the noble concubine is also a friend of the minister, and she is a sister in the boudoir. The minister dared to ask the emperor, what does the emperor plan to do with the noble concubine Niangniang and the virtuous concubine Niangniang? ”
The emperor stood up and went to the window to look in a certain direction. Not long ago, she saw a red thing there, and then said "something's wrong" and left, leaving him with a smile and a pact between them. She is like this rain, she seems to be able to see through, but she also seems to be unable to catch it, and it is so hazy that people want to see more clearly.
Yun Changfeng came to report that the Queen Mother, the Empress and Concubine Shu went to the Jade Immortal Palace together, and they also searched the Jade Immortal Palace, probably because they found that Moyu was not in the palace, so they took someone to search it! Later, he moved out the things that Zhang Jieyu had sent before, and asked the imperial doctor to see if there was anything wrong, as if he was looking for something. He didn't know what the queen's move meant, but in the end, they were all gone, and Moyu was safe and sound, and he finally let go.
"She's going to be okay and can't be okay."
Sikong looked at the emperor in front of him with some astonishment, when he said this, although his face was indifferent, the tenderness in his eyes could not be concealed by indifference. This emperor has long loved her to the core, but I don't know if he realizes it. Yetian once said that if he didn't die, she had to die. But there is a chance in everything, the emperor will not kill Yetian, and he will not necessarily kill Moyu, because the emperor has her in his heart.
"It is their blessing that the emperor protects the noble concubine and the virtuous concubine so much."
Hearing Sikong's words, the emperor laughed at himself. Even Sikong saw his heart for her, why was she always like leaving, and her heart was never on him, could it be that the previous hurt to her really made her unable to let go? (To be continued.) )
